Competence Areas
Fraunhofer Center Nanoelectronic Technologies
Analytics
The competence group “Analytics” works on the characterization of materials, which are required for the manufacturing of semiconductor circuits. The focus is on the distribution and activity of doping atoms, the characteristics of interfaces and surfaces as well as the characteristics of crystallization and contamination, the improvement of measurement methods or the use of new analysis techniques.
